Remote Testing for Residential Gateways

Luca De Vito, Paolo Fiore, Sergio Rapuano

Abstract

A residential gateway is a network device employed in the Small Office / Home Office (SOHO) field. It is the front-end allowing the SOHO customers to connect their own network to the Service Provider’s (SP) one. The paper deals with the problem of ensuring residential gateway interoperability with different SOHO and SP networks also when the manufacturer’s and SP’s test benches are different. In particular, a remote testing system is proposed enabling the manufacturer to test its device inside the SP network. The proposed solution consists of a remote testing board to be connected to the gateway under test within the SP laboratory and managed by the manufacturer. The solution has been implemented and validated for the Gateway ADapter / Gateway ADapter Mixed (GAD/GADM) gateways produced by Telsey Telecommunications.
